Thoughts On A Bowl Poem by Annabelle James

Thoughts On A Bowl

Rating: 3.3


A black hollow bowl,
The bowl...
Is my heart
I am a pioneer of pain
Nobody understands, nobody can see.
The pain that is, being me
The dogs no longer acknowledge me
With their solidarity bark
Because they know that I
Am dead inside
Within the hollow chambers of my tortured being
There lies no more a beating heart
Instead a lonely pack of 6AA batteries
That beat this fountain of wasted tears through my wasted body

Hey, anyone who can write wonderful images such as 'the pioneer' of pain can't be 'dead.' You're a poet. Now get busy and write another.
